Cookie Notice

A small footprint, described plainly.

This notice describes cookies and related browser storage on the Before Your Claim website.  It also explains how the separate app under development is designed to store a home record.

Advertising cookies and site statistics

We do not currently plan to install advertising cookies, marketing pixels, social-media trackers, or behavioral analytics scripts.  Our hosting and security providers may collect technical visitor information and compile site-traffic statistics.  See the Privacy Policy.  This description must be checked again against the final website configuration.

The cookies identified below support website operation, security, or administrator sign-in.  A separate marketing-cookie consent banner is not currently configured.  If the site’s technology or applicable requirements change, this notice and any required choices will be reviewed before release.

The app: local records and browser storage

The app being tested is designed to keep your home record locally in browser or app storage, without a sign-in account.  That local storage is different from ordinary website cookies.  The eventual app host may use its own security cookies; this will be checked before public release.

  • Your home record: rooms, photographs, notes, measurements and belongings, kept in the browser’s built-in database for app.beforeyourclaim.com (or in the Android app’s private storage).
  • One small setting: a note that you have seen the app’s first-run notice, so it is not shown every time.

The intended design keeps the home record on the device rather than uploading it to Absolute Adjusting.  The final build will be checked before the app is released.  See the Privacy Policy.

Your controls

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.  Blocking security cookies may stop parts of the website from working.

Important: clearing browser data for app.beforeyourclaim.com, or clearing all site data, may delete any home record stored there.  If you later use the app, create and check an independent backup before clearing browser data.

Links and other websites

Links to other websites, including absoluteadjusting.com, the How It Works video hosted there, and government websites, are governed by those websites’ own cookie practices once you follow them.

Changes and contact

We will update this notice when the website, app, or providers change.  Before introducing optional tracking or advertising technology, we will review disclosure and consent requirements.  Questions: beforeyourclaim@absoluteadjusting.com.
